Re: '93 Lumina brake problem
Tou are probably having trouble getting the lines primed, and sequence makes a difference also. Here's the scoop: - Fill the master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid and keep the reservoir at least half full during the bleeding operation.
- If the master cylinder has air in the bore, it must be removed before bleeding the calipers. Bleed the master cylinder as follows.
- Disconnect the forward brake pipe at the master cylinder.
- Fill the reservoir until fluid begins to flow from the forward pipe connector port.
- Reconnect the forward brake pipe and tighten.
- Depress the brake pedal slowly one time and hold. Loosen the forward brake pipe and purge the air from the bore. Tighten the brake pipe, wait 15 seconds and repeat until all air is removed.
- When the air is removed from the forward brake pipe, repeat the same procedures for the rear brake pipe.
- Bleed the calipers in the following order, (right front, right rear, left rear, left front).
- Install a box end wrench over the bleeder valve and connect a clear tube onto the valve. Place the other end of the tube into a container of new brake fluid. The end of the tube must be submerged in brake fluid.
- Depress the brake pedal slowly one time and hold. Loosen the bleeder valve to purge the air from the caliper. Close the valve and release the pedal. Repeat the procedure until all air is removed from the brake fluid.
- Do NOT pump the brake pedal rapidly; this causes the air to churn and make bleeding difficult.
- After the calipers have been bled, check the brake pedal for sponginess and the BRAKE warning lamp for low fluid level.
- Repeat the bleeding operation if a spongy pedal is felt.
- Fill the reservoir to the MAX line.
